New injector problems
I have a 2016 F350 disel with 2500 miles. It's at the dealer now they are telling me some metal shavings clogged one of the injectors. Has anyone ever heard of this and what should I be looking for?

in addition, new fuel filters and a tank flush is required, along with a flush of all fuel lines.
Push for an extended warranty as well, especially if they won't do the right thing.
I would contact ford cust svc too.

The service rep at ford said if any shavings went into any of the other injectors it would have burned up because disel engines run so hot and they are clear except one. Should I contact ford customer service before the dealer officially says they are only replacing only one injector or wait to see what they say ?

If this was a customer pay (your fault), they would tell you the only way to be sure is complete overhaul.

Hopefully, they will not find contaminated fuel, because if they do it will be on you. And believe me, they will check!

Make them tell you where those shavings came from!! I mean, DEMAND they tell you. It came from somewhere in the fuel system, it was their part that caused it, NOT WATER IN THE FUEL! Which is what some are being told is why they won't pay under warranty. Then, when they tell you where the shavings came from you have proof that the fuel system needs replacing. I would be completely flabbergasted if a tech, or service rep told me this was a normal occurance, and replacing one injector is going to take you trouble free down the road. No way. Good luck, and keep us posted.

I think everyone is jumping the gun based on the OP description of one injector going bad. If the HPFP grenaded the engine would barely run at best.
OP.... Best thing to do is to remove the DFCM fuel filter and inspect for metal shavings. If not your HPFP fuel system is most likely ok.

The check engine light came on so I brought to them my truck seemed to be running fine. They tested the fuel and it was fine and they found metal shavings in one injector which clogged it so they said the other injectors compensated for it so Monday they are going to take it apart to find out what caused it he said he thinks it has to do with the high pressure line but not sure
